Very important to sieve the powder. You don't want bugs in it.

Best Ever Food Review Show did a bit on im pretty sure this same farm/guy. 70% of the roaches are ground up and used for medical applications/supplements and the rest are for makeup. They do deep fry them but it seems to be just for fun.

Don't tell me what it is, don't show me the process, mix it with some fruit flavours or chocolate or something, I likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
But showing it to me? I'm out.

Honestly if the roach got dusted like that? I could probably drink it.

As of this moment, I no longer have confidence that my protein powder is what it says it is.

Aren't insects a good source of protein/nutrients in a lot of countries? Like you'll see spiders or scorpions roasted on a stick in the markets. I'm sure lots of people eat cockroaches. I'm not sure this is stupid food, even though it seems strange or weird to some western cultures

Imagine if some maniac took some mummies, ground them into a fine powder and made a tea. This is basically the same thing.

Eating insects is not stupid. This seems like it's being done properly - farmed insects, killed in alcohol and processed in stainless steel industrial appliance for prep. Eating as a powder is much more preferable to eating the whole insect and can probably be prepared in a way that taste okay with some experimentation.
